A
beautiful mountain lake!
The bicycle paths in Colorado are nothing like the ones in Ohio. Out in these parts there are actually hills on the bike path. As you can see hear this was a 10% grade!
We spent a day in
Breckenridge, CO enjoying the town. There were snow capped mountains and plenty of things to do.
Ross and I at the Hoosier Pass. This is the highest that we will get the whole trip, just over 11,500 feet! We actually had some snow falling going up the pass.
These are the
TransAmerican 1976 signs. We have not seen many of them since Virginia, but there were a few around Canon City, CO.
The Salmon River just outside of Riggins, Idaho (Whitewater rafting capital of Idaho). We rode through this canyon for many miles. It was some of the most scenic riding of the whole trip.
White Bird Pass in White Bird, ID. We enjoyed a 10 mile decent at a 7% grade. Needless to say we went pretty fast!
Prior to descending 3,500 feet in elevation we enjoyed the scenery from the top of White Bird Pass. It was one of those overlooks that unfortunately pictures just don't do justice.
We are in Idaho!...However, after 4 days we are moving on, tomorrow we will be in Oregon. We entered Idaho unsure of what it would be like. It turned out to be one of the most scenic areas of the country. We spent most of the time riding along beautiful rivers inside huge canyons.
